KUALA TERENGGANU, Nov 16 — The Terengganu chapter of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested a committee chairman of the temporary relief centre (PPS) on suspicion of certifying a flood relief form containing false details in 2022.
According to a MACC source, the man, in his 60s, was arrested at about 11 am yesterday at the Kemaman MACC office when he came to give his statement.
